Tamar River - Cities, Towns and Localities |
|
The majestic Tamar River meanders for 58 km through the
Tamar Valley region of
high-yielding vineyard country, orchards, scenic farmland
and forests from Launceston
through to Port Dalrymple and the sea of Bass Strait. Fed by
the South and North Esk Rivers where they merge at
Launceston to become the Tamar River, there are shore access
pontoons conveniently located along the riverbanks and
offers a great place to cast a line for the variety of
saltwater fish. Other smaller rivers and streams also feed
into the Tamar River offering opportunities for freshwater
fishing. The quiet waters and sheltered shores also provide
a perfect environment for many species of waters birds. For up-to-date accommodation, attraction, tours and
